The Hartley 10 is very easy to manage entry-level dinghy. This attractive little dinghy is particularly suited to those in the early stages of learning to sail or those who just want a simple boat for getting out and about on the water. It is made from a 3 layer roto mould polyethene which is very robust, hardwearing and practically maintenance free.

The Hartley 10 has a single sail plan and the wide deep hull shape incorporates a very stable sit-in design with a high boom to more comfortably accommodate older youth and adult learners. The attractive hull shape moves swiftly over the water and self drains effortlessly.

The mast comes in two pieces for easier transport on a car top or road trailer.
